New appellate judges pay respects to Bangabandhu
Two newly appointed judges of the Appellate Division of Supreme Court -- Justice Tariq-ul-Hakim and Justice Obaidul Hassan -- yesterday paid homage to Bangabandhu by placing wreaths at his grave in Gopalganj's Tungipara upazila.
They also offered prayers at his mausoleum, seeking eternal peace for the departed souls of Bangabandhu, Bangamata Begum Fazilatunnesa Mujib and other martyrs of the August 15, 1975 massacre, an SC source said.
President Md Abdul Hamid on September 2 appointed the two as judges of the Appellate Division by promoting them from the High Court.
The number of apex court judges stands at eight now.
